I can see the nice cardboard wallet for your hipster. Can you provide a link?

I got my E2 yesterday so I'm well on my way to replicating this kit. I'm amazed at how nice it is compared to my old Tungsten T and even the C which I only had for a month before I eBayed it. I just need a nice kit bag and a case for the E2 now. Target and Walmart didn't have anything worth buying. I'll need to make a trip this weekend to hunt down a nice bag.

Media on the Palm

caligatia — Tue, 29 May 2007 11:19:29 -0400

My Palm Tx came with pTunes. I bought a 2GB SD card for $27 at Best Buy, planning to use it for books. Then my iPod crashed. I haven't gotten around to getting it fixed yet, mostly because I put 1.5GB of my favorite songs on the Palm. I have one of those broadcast units that plays iPods over the car radio, and it plugs into the headphone jack of my Palm just fine. I spend a lot of time driving for my job, so music is crucial. And because pTunes shuts off the screen, playing music doesn't drain much power. My only complaint is that the pTunes interface sucks. (Usually I just put it on random while driving, instead of trying to set up real playlists.)

Oh, and I still have room for all my books on the card, too! I carry several novels with me, plus some reference books...

It sounds like he uses it

It sounds like he uses it mostly for media. I'm toying with the idea of getting a couple of large memory cards and phasing out my 3rd Gen iPod.

I'll have this sort of setup by week's end only mine will include my Nintendo DS :) . My bag situation still isn't great. I need to sort that out. I have a Palm E2 coming this week which I'll pair up with the hPDA/stack of cards. I found the Palm to be a big PIA when it came to quick notes but the cards are great. If it's something that I'll need beyond the next hour I can input it into E2. I just need to be disciplined.

Anybody have a case like DJ's? I was thinking of trying Target since they have a huge assortment for reasonable prices.

Hi Fran,

Thanks for emailing Timbuk2.

Sadly, we have no way of knowing what retailers have instock. The best thing to do is locate a retailer in your area and give them a call! If you can not find the bag in your area, it is avavilable at Timbuk2.com. Our return policy is within 30 days of the original purchase, in unused condition. So, if you order it and see it is not what you wanted, you can send it back! I have included links to our Retail Locater and Return Policy below.

to ask if any of the retail stores that carry their line have the slant bag. will let you know if I get an answer, if you'd like.

Timbuktu slant bag

shb — Fri, 16 Mar 2007 15:21:12 -0400

I saw that on the website, too, and was really intrigued. I felt the same as you - I'm not ready to order it without getting to poke and prod it in person, but it looks very interesting doesn't it???

Is there still a DIYPlanner cafe press store? :D

another candidate for the perfect gear bag

frano — Fri, 16 Mar 2007 14:28:55 -0400

I was browsing the Timbuktu web site and found their Slant bag. Looks like it would be convenient to carry around - not too big, but lots of pockets inside for various and sundry. Too bad I can't find it in a store to take a look at it! $80 plus tax and shipping and possibly shipping back is a lot of money when I've never seen their gear in person... anyone use their products? any endorsements?

Would you mind telling us why you still use DIY Hipster PDA while you have a digital Palm? Tks!

Leatherman

This Leatherman thingie sounds like an Old Europe's Swiss Army knife on steroid! The Swiss Army knife must incidently not to be confused with the French Police Knife!

that sounds like the perfect

meade — Thu, 29 Sep 2005 15:14:42 -0400

that sounds like the perfect bag. looks like they may not make it anymore, or, at least, no longer have it on their website. how long ago did you get it, may I ask?

also, I found a shoptalk thread about the best gadget bags, which might be useful. though none of the ones I've investigated look nearly as functional & perfectly sized as this Eddie Bower above. I've got serious bag envy!

Thanks for posting your kit, it's helpful in planning my own.
